MILWAUKEE – Attorney General J.B. Van
Hollen announced today that the Milwaukee Election Fraud Task Force has
brought additional electoral fraud cases against five Wisconsin
residents. The Department of Justice, acting as Special Prosecutor for
Milwaukee County, has filed felony charges against Maria Miles, Kevin
Clancy, Michael Henderson, Herbert Gunka, and Suzanne Gunka, all
alleging election fraud arising out of the November 4, 2008,
Presidential Election.
“The integrity of elections is dependent upon citizens and officials
insisting they be conducted lawfully. Wisconsin’s citizens should not
have to wonder whether their vote has been negated or diminished by
illegally cast ballots,” Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said.
According to the criminal complaints, Miles and Clancy served as
Special Registration Deputies (“SRD”) for the City of Milwaukee in
advance of the 2008 Presidential Election. Each worked for the
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (“ACORN”). Miles
and Clancy are each charged with the felony offense of Falsely
Procuring Voter Registration as Party to a Crime. The complaint
alleges that Miles and Clancy submitted multiple voter registration
applications for the same individuals, and also were part of a scheme
in which they and other SRDs registered each other to vote multiple
times in order to meet voter registration quotas imposed by ACORN.
Henderson is charged with one count of Voting by a Disqualified
Person and one count of Providing False Information to Election
Officials, both felonies. The complaint alleges that Henderson
registered to vote at the polls on November 4, 2008, thereby certifying
that he was a qualified elector. It also alleges that he then cast a
ballot. At that time, Henderson was on an active period of probation
for felony convictions from Rock County. A felon on an active period
of supervision for a felony offense is prohibited by state law from
voting in any election.
Herbert and Suzanne Gunka are each charged with the felony offense
of Double Voting. The complaint alleges that they each voted in the
November 2008 election by casting absentee ballots before the
election. The complaint also alleges that after casting absentee
ballots, they each voted in person at their polling place on election
day.
Each individual charge carries a potential penalty of imprisonment
up to 3 ½ years and a $10,000 fine. All defendants are ordered in for
an initial appearance on April 20, 2010, at 1:30 p.m.
